A real tone-based hearing screening you can take at home in about five minutes. Headphones on, quiet room, and we'll check both ears across the frequencies that matter most for speech.
This screening plays real test tones through your headphones and checks each ear separately. For it to mean anything, you'll need three things:
Required — speakers can't test each ear separately. Wired or Bluetooth both work.
Background noise masks quiet tones and skews results. Turn off the TV, close the door.
The test moves at its own pace. Once we calibrate your volume, don't touch it again.
This is an educational screening tool, not a hearing test, audiogram, or medical examination. Results depend on your device, headphones, and environment, and cannot be compared to clinical results.
Put your headphones on now. Press the button below to play a reference sound, then adjust your device volume until it's comfortable and clearly audible — the level you'd choose for pleasant music.
The sound plays for 5 seconds. Play it as many times as you need.
⚠ From this point on, do not change your volume. Changing it mid-test invalidates your results.
We'll play a tone in one ear only. Click the side where you hear it — this confirms your left and right channels are correct.
A tone will begin playing very quietly and get gradually louder. Press the button the moment you hear it.
This screening is educational only. It is not a hearing test, does not produce an audiogram, and cannot diagnose hearing loss. Device, headphone, and room differences significantly affect results. Only a professional evaluation in a calibrated sound environment can assess your hearing. If you experience sudden hearing loss, ear pain, drainage, or dizziness, see a physician promptly.
We test four frequencies per ear — the range where speech understanding lives.
Low pitch — vowel sounds and the fullness of voices. Usually the last range affected by age-related loss.
The heart of speech. Most conversational energy lives near this frequency.
Speech clarity. Where consonants begin — the difference between "cat" and "hat."
The early-warning zone. Age- and noise-related loss almost always shows here first — "s," "f," "th."
Whatever your result today, a professional evaluation in our calibrated sound suite gives you the real picture — free, unhurried, no obligation.
